Reply: This is a good objection. However, the difference between first-order and higher-order relations is relevant here. Traditionally, similarity relations such as x and y are the same color have been represented, durante the way indicated con the objection, as higher-order relations involving identities between higher order objects (properties). Yet this treatment may not be inevitable. Con Deutsch (1997), an attempt is made sicuro treat similarity relations of the form ‘\(x\) and \(y\) are the same \(F\)’ (where \(F\) is adjectival) as primitive, first-order, purely logical relations (see also Williamson 1988). If successful, verso first-order treatment of similarity would spettacolo that the impression that identity is prior sicuro equivalence is merely per misimpression – coppia to the assumption that the usual higher-order account of similarity relations is the only option.
